Wow! I would switch - The best IMO is Safari 3 with Inquisitor and Stand
Or Camino, which is a mac-only Mozilla project 🙂
You really shouldn't have to wait that long for a browser...

Mine takes about 2.
I would love to use Safari, IMO it's a much better browser. I just can't live without my AdBlock Plus.

On my 2.0GHz Macbook CD with 2GB of RAM it took 6 bounces. Camino is a lot better than Firefox though. I recommend it.
After a reboot (which is rare) I find that Firefox will sometimes take anywhere from 5 ~ 10 bounces to start, which is an incredibly long time. I'm not sure what's going on when that happens, but after that initial launch, any subsequent launches take maybe 1 or 2 bounces; but most of the time it seems instantaneous.
When I've first started up, it takes about six to nine bounces. After that, it really doesn't bounce at all.

3 on an Athlon64 3000+ with 1.5GB 333MHz single channel DDR loaded with a few apps 😉

4 on a new MBP, but with time for a few more after it stopped (before Firefox loaded).
1 after it has already loaded.
